Are you considering Mary as "equal" to the Trinity, or more along the lines of completely involved "with"?
It would be interesting to hear more of your thoughts.
>implications for the three branches of Christianity. Here's where I'm way out of my depth... It often seems to me that there are huge differences of opinion within a certain branch, and that sometimes denominations within different branches have more in common than denominations withing the same branch. I'm curious - how does one speak of the implications for a branch without speaking to those differences?
